WAQUA Compact Seawater Desalination System | Securing Domestic Water for Disaster BCP, Fishing Industries, and Civil Engineering Sites

To meet the strong demand to “secure water” in disaster situations, fishing, civil engineering/construction sites, and outdoor activities, we propose our compact and lightweight seawater and river water desalination systems. We have established a system to globally supply these Japan-quality devices through our three ASEAN bases and international partner networks.

The Urgent Challenge of “Securing Water” at Disaster, Fishing, and Civil Engineering Sites

During fishing and civil engineering/construction operations, or in times of disaster, the supply of domestic and operational water becomes critically tight. Conventional water generation systems are large, heavy, and inefficient, making them unsuitable for on-site operations.
Balancing a compact, lightweight design with high water-generation capacity is a key technical challenge.
●Situations where the issue surfaces: The need for improvement in existing products; social backgrounds marked by frequent disasters and water resource scarcity.
●Main impacts: Suspension of on-site operations, shortage of domestic water at evacuation centers, and operational constraints in fishing and on remote islands.

Why Conventional Systems Fail: The Barriers of Bulkiness, Heavy Weight, and Low Efficiency

Conventional systems have failed to balance a compact, lightweight design with high water-generation capacity, largely due to constraints in equipment specifications and dimensions.
●Specific evidence: Analysis of existing products.

Countermeasures Attempted Thus Far and Their Limitations

Repurposing general-purpose RO systems (bulky, high power requirements), stockpiling bottled water (temporary, high cost).
Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more radical solution.

Solution Approach: Optimizing Membrane, Piping, and Pump Configuration Specs × On-site Verification × Overseas Partner Network

Achieving both a compact, lightweight design and high water-generation capacity through the optimization of formulations and specifications (reviewing blending ratios, thickness, and configuration).

STEP. 01

Specification Optimization

Optimal layout and configuration for membrane, piping, and pump structures

STEP. 02

On-site Verification

Verifying water generation volume and durability using seawater and river water

STEP. 03

Overseas Partnership

Local Procurement of ESD Solutions for OA Equipment in Vietnam | Selecting Static Elimination Brushes and Conductive Fibers Aligned with OEM Design Philosophy

To suppress defects caused by static electricity in the assembly process of OA equipment, selecting static elimination materials tailored to the design philosophy of each individual model is indispensable. Through collaboration between our Vietnam base and cooperative manufacturers, we evaluate and supply model-specific static elimination brushes, conductive fibers, and conductive adhesive tapes locally. This enables customers to break away from import dependency and realize a stable supply. The "Procurement Challenges of Static Elimination Components" Manifesting in the Overseas Localization of OA Equipment We want to localize the procurement of static elimination components for OA equipment in Vietnam. However, because the design philosophy differs for each model, off-the-shelf general-purpose products do not fit.It was necessary to select static elimination components tailored to the specific design philosophy of each manufacturer.● When the issue manifests: Overseas expansion and local procurement phases.● Main impacts: Risk of stockouts due to imports, inability to secure design-compliant products locally, and countermeasures against defects in the assembly process. Why Off-the-Shelf General-Purpose Products Do Not Fit: Differences in Design Philosophy for Each Model Prolonged lead times caused by procurement and supply chain factors. Specifications for static elimination components are highly fragmented by specific models.●Basis for Identification: Customer hearings and prototype evaluations. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations Diverting local general-purpose brushes (insufficient static elimination performance), continuing to order Japanese products (lead times exceeded).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more radical and fundamental solution. Solution Approach: Design Philosophy Interviews × Local Prototype Evaluation × Model-Specific SKU Management In coordination with our overseas bases and cooperative manufacturers, we select static elimination brushes and conductive fibers tailored to design specifications, and conduct on-site sample evaluations. STEP. 01 Custom Specification Capability Organizing static elimination requirements for each model to select the optimal fiber type, density, and tuft length. STEP. 02 Prototyping & Evaluation Conducting on-site evaluations tailored to the assembly line. STEP. 03 Local Inventory Management Storing required quantities to ensure short lead-time supply.

Temperature-Dependent Sheet HUMOFIT® | Reducing the Feeling of Pressure with F+BAND, a Fixation Band for Medical and Sports Applications

Balancing "rigidity at room temperature" and "flexibility at body temperature," which is difficult with conventional fixation materials—with F+BAND applying the temperature-dependent sheet HUMOFIT®, we have simultaneously achieved reduced tightness when worn and ensured breathability. This solution also looks toward horizontal expansion into the medical, sports, beauty, and wearable device fields. The Issue of "Tightness from Fixation Bands" Occurring in Medical and Sports Fields In medical and sports applications, there was a demand for a material that "fits the body without a feeling of pressure" as an alternative to fixation bands and bandages for arms. With existing materials, it is difficult to balance moldability and a snug fit.It was necessary to switch between hardness and softness depending on the situation, which was difficult to address with conventional fixation agents and tapes.● Scenarios where this becomes apparent: Improvement of existing products. Needs became apparent in situations such as exhibitions.● Main impacts: Discomfort when worn → lower continuous use rate, deterioration of workability in medical fields, and difficulty in differentiation from competitors. Why Existing Materials Do Not Fit: Physical Properties That Cannot Balance Room Temperature and Body Temperature The physical property limitations of existing fixation materials (plastics and rubber). They cannot balance rigidity at room temperature with flexibility at body temperature.● Grounds for identification: Interviews with existing clients and at exhibition booth displays. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limits Elastic rubber bands (feeling of tightness remains) and cast-type materials (heavy and difficult to handle).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more fundamental solution. Solution Approach: HUMOFIT® Application × Die-Cut Shape Optimization × Perforating Process to Ensure Breathability Applying and developing the temperature-dependent sheet HUMOFIT®. Optimizing breathability and fit through material grade changes combined with die-cut shapes and perforating processes.
